I was hoping to use iMesh_getAdjEntIndices for that, which filters duplicates for me already, but I can only do that if I can get all the vertices back in a single call, which I can't currently.

Even though your opinion will be discounted 'cuz you work for me, at least putting the question out there and describing how it's motivated by a real application will lend it at least some weight.

I'll see if I can come up with a few more use-cases, and then I'll post something to the ITAPS list. I've also got a list of other ITAPS grievances that I'll talk about (some other time though). They're mostly iGeom and iRel things, so hopefully people will be a little more open to changes.
